A Galveston native, she decided on the University of Houston.&#xD;
“I just felt at home when I got on campus,” she said.&#xD;
With a B.A. in marketing from the UH Bauer College of Business, Stevens joined the College of Education in December 2019 as the development coordinator. She serves as the liaison to alumni, supports fundraising and engages students — helping fellow Coogs feel as connected to UH as she does. &#xD;
“While they’ve moved into the workforce, we want alumni to remain active and continue to make the College better for the students that follow,” she said. “I make sure to present UH and the College in such a light that people feel at home — feeling what I’ve always felt.”</description><author/><author-email/><author-phone/><image/><categories/></item>
